SpursCollege Bar RedesignProblem:

Deliverables:Concept statement, complete set of working drawings, specification booklet and budget, rendered perspectives and presentation for college staff.A combination of industrial themes and rustic features that bring the trades, technology and agricultural components of the college together. A new bar and kitchen, dance floor, pool area, study lounge and coffee bar catering to meet all needs of both staff and students.

Solution:

To redesign the Lakeland College student activity center. Transforming the space to be multifunctional, enjoyable and profitable for the school and its students.

The clients were looking to keep as much of the current building footprint as possible to save on budget. The biggest problem with the current space that needed to be fixed, was the traffic flow.

The new space was to be an open concept that allowed people to move around and easily enjoy the entire bar. As a design team, we found that by removing walls and visually connecting the spaces with complimenting finishes and fixtures we would achieve one uniformed space.

To find a concept and design solution that pleased the majority of college students and staff; a survey was sent out to learn more about what was lacking in the current facility.

The results:- No Dance Floor- No space for pool tables- Bar was unusually large- Space was too bright

Learning more about how the space could be used more efficiently allowed our design team to move forward with our rough sketched plans.

Design Planning

Main Floor Plan

Rustic laminate plank flooring runs through out the entire space to enforce an open concept and create unity in all areas of the bar. Deep red tones add liveliness and mixed metals and woods bring character into the space.

Working as a team of designers to recreate the space and meet clients needs. Solving design problems together and forming a solution.

Alchemy Florists is meant to be a flower shop that no one has seen before. Even though many people have already been to other flower shops; this one is uniquely it’s own.

Solution:A Mother Nature inspired flower shop that brings elements from the garden inside. A large living plant wall, small water fall, fish pond, natural textures and a large sky LED ceiling transform the interior of the shop to make shoppers feel as if they were outdoors. The walk-in flower cooler and consultation space gives shoppers the full experience of purchasing arrangements they enjoy.

Back Work Space

Front Desk

Alchemy Florists is a flower shop catered specifically to clients by giving them beautiful, custom floral arrangements that suit their exact needs. The walk-in flower cooler is open for shoppers to go in and pick out arrangements and bouquets that appeal to them.

A consultation space is reserved for clients to discuss and decide on custom flower arrangements and bouquets for their event with the floral designer. This area allows brides to receive the full attention they need, event planners to make quick decisions and see multiple options, and shoppers to place large orders for future events.

The large back work space provides plenty of room for large orders that are awaiting pick up and delivery orders to go out. The large island allows multiple designers to work at the same time and spread out product for better visibility.

Airport KioskSmall Retail Design

Problem:

Deliverables:

Solution:

To create a conceptual design for an international airport kiosk under 200 square feet.

Research and concept development, material board, Sketch Up model, packaging or product and brand signage.

A trend setting watch shop with large rotating cases allowing shoppers to enjoy a full view of all the watches. The tilted roof is an LED light with hands that show real time. Half Past is not only a store, but also becomes a practical time piece for all to view. The store itself is arranged as a literal watch with Dekton floors as the face, the cash desk and display cases as 15 minute markers and the clock work above.

Solution:

Half Past is meant to represent the product it sells. The kiosk is open and attractive to every person walking through the airport. We wanted to grab the attention of people by having the LED light glisten off of the watch faces rotating in the cases below. From across the room shoppers would notice a soft glitter illuminating from the cases; encouraging onlookers to investigate.

Problem:

Deliverables:

To design a kitchen following the guidelines for the 2015/ 2016 NKBA [National Kitchen and Bath Association] Student Design Competition.

Concept statement, complete set of working drawings, specification booklet and budget, material board, and rendered perspective.

Solution:A traditional kitchen with a white on white twist. Gold accents and natural textures were used to create interest in the space. An extra deep counter provides extra open storage and room to accompany large baking projects. The kitchen becomes an extension of the family room where conversation is enjoyed and encouraged.

The client is a pastry chef, so amble counter space was a necessity. Bringing the base cabinetry forward 6” from the wall allowed the marble stone counter tops to extend further back, therefore creating more counter space for the client to roll out fondant, store appliances and place finished pastries to cool.
